Chapter 306: Palm Positioning?

"Can the interstellar transmitter be repaired?" Mu Chen asked.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, the Luban has been repaired for more than a month, but there is still no progress......"

It seems that the ship cannot be expected to be repaired, if it can be repaired, it will be repaired long ago, and there will be no progress for a month, which can only mean that the damage is too serious, and it may even be completely scrapped.

"How long can the energy of a battleship last?"

"It is expected to sail for 60 days, and if the energy of the Giant Whale and Luban is hit, it may be able to meet the consumption of 180 days of sailing, but this means that we will completely abandon these two auxiliary ships, and we also need to take over the crew members of the auxiliary ships, and our supplies may be difficult to meet the needs of the crew."

"From now on, the supply of food and drinking water will be limited, and everyone will be reduced to one meal every 12 hours, except for the wounded and medical staff, who are guaranteed to provide three meals a day."

"Help me connect the Whale and Luban......"

Mu Chen communicated with the two captains and decided to abandon the two auxiliary ships and move the personnel, energy, and necessary supplies to the Death and Dreadnought to save energy consumption as much as possible.

This is also a helpless move, after all, the remaining energy of the fleet is only so much, and if you don't use it carefully, it is impossible for the Reaper fleet to reach the nearest supply point.

It really happened that there was an unknown planet nearby, so the Reaper fleet left the two auxiliary ships here and set up signal transmitters, so that when conditions allow in the future, they will find a way to get these two warships back.

The hardest thing in recent times is the little girl Mu Yue, after losing the space positioning function, the fleet can not determine its position, so the difficulty of surveying and mapping the star map has greatly increased, Mu Yue has worked hard for a long time, and can not come up with a definite voyage.

"Go down and rest, you have dark circles under your eyes." Mu Chen said to his sister beside him.

"But......" Muyue was still a little unwilling, pouting and reluctant to leave.

"Without you, a little butcher, can I still eat hairy pigs? I'll take care of the rest, go get some sleep and give you a few days off. Mu Chen rubbed his sister's scalp dotingly and said gently.

Mu Yue has an inexplicable confidence in his magical brother, as if there is nothing in this world that can be difficult to get him, since his brother has said that he has handed it over, it means that he already has a feasible plan.

"Alright then, I'll go back to my room, feel free to come to me if you need help." Mu Yue didn't insist anymore, she really couldn't bear it, and she couldn't help but yawn when she thought of the soft and comfortable bed in the room.

The most reliable star map analyst was driven to sleep by the commander, and the crew did not object, but just looked at the commander expectantly, hoping to know what his plan was.

Mu Chen didn't bother to explain to them, and stretched out his left hand to look at it.

The lucky compass lit up immediately, but the glowing six-pointed star could only be seen by Mu Chen, the owner, and in the eyes of others, Mu Chen was just staring at his palm in a daze.

"Left rudder 30 degrees!" Mu Chen said loudly.

"Left rudder 30 degrees to!"

"The first and second thrusters are ignition, full speed ahead, tell the Dreadnought to follow, I'll take you home!" Mu Chen said lightly.

All

It's like finding the backbone of the Lord, and although I don't know if Lord Death has a bottom in his heart, as long as the omnipotent commander sits in that position, there is nothing to worry about.

The co-pilot lowered his head and whispered to the navigator sitting beside him, "Your Excellency, Commander, has you set the course?" ”

The navigator shook his head and said: "How do I know, I hope there will be no mistakes, our current energy surplus can not be wasted, once we choose the wrong direction, I am afraid it will ......"

"Hey, don't scare me, I'm just feeling a little more grounded in my heart......"

"Why do you think about it so much, Lord Death should have his own way of judging the direction." As he spoke, the navigator raised his palm and stole the teacher, if he could learn this skill of Lord Death, wouldn't his work be much easier in the future?

There are not a few people who have the same mind as the navigator, and almost every crew member in the command room of the Reaper invariably raised their left hand to observe, wanting to learn the palm positioning skill of Lord Death.

Of course, there are many people who have a skeptical attitude, and they can determine the direction of the space fleet with the palm of their hands. Hell if it's useful.

It's just that out of respect for the commander and the deterrent power of Lord Death, no one has expressed their doubts in their hearts.

But after three days of sailing, questions were still raised.

"Your Excellency, it stands to reason that we should have entered the solar system by now, but ......," the navigator continued, after a moment of deliberation, "but no familiar reference planets have been observed. ”

"Got it, don't worry......" Mu Chen glanced down at his palm, made sure that the battleship was moving in the direction pointed by the lucky compass, and then closed his eyes and took a nap again.

For this magical lucky compass, Mu Chen can't tell its function, and this thing can't speak, but it will give a hint when there are treasures nearby, and it will also point out the direction for him according to Mu Chen's needs.

I can't explain the function of the lucky compass, but it doesn't mean that Mu Chen doesn't trust this thing, except for the mysterious seed found on the moon according to the guidance of the lucky compass, which has not shown much value, this thing has never cheated itself.

The crew members became more and more curious, how could Lord Death be so calm? It's like not worrying about making mistakes at all, is this palm positioning really that magical?

The fleet sailed for another 72 hours, and a familiar planet appeared in the sight of the space telescope.

"Pluto, it's Pluto!" The navigator recognized the planet at a glance and cried out excitedly.

The crew all looked at Mu Chen, who was sleeping on the command seat, with a fairy-like look, and they couldn't imagine that Lord Death had really found the course and successfully brought the fleet back to the right course.

Being able to confirm that the planet was Pluto meant that at least there was no mistake in the course, and the Reaper fleet was heading towards Earth in a course that had never been traveled before.

"Be quiet, don't be surprised, I'm sleeping with Lao Tzu!" Mu Chen scolded dissatisfiedly, adjusted his posture, put his legs on the command platform in front of him and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

The crew could only suppress the excitement in their hearts, and tried not to make any noise during their work, so as not to wake up the resting Grim Reaper again.

And several people who study the positioning of the palm are almost to the point of falling into the devil, and they don't think about eating every day, and even hold their left hand to study when they eat.

"How did Lord Death determine the direction of the voyage through the palm prints on his palm?"

"Maybe it's a fingerprint?"

"Maybe Lord Death drew the star map in the palm of his hand."

"How is it possible, the star map is incredibly complex, and it is impossible to draw it in the palm of a palm."

"Could it be that palm prints are used to mark the directions between the star fields, so that you can roughly judge the current position......

Mu Chen never imagined that his action of watching the lucky compass was really studied by some famous people later, using the palm prints of his palms to assist in remembering the reference planet in navigation, which was convenient for navigators to judge the direction of navigation, and helped many lost space vehicles find the right direction in the following hundreds of years.

This technique has also been named the Palm Positioning Method or the Grim Reaper Positioning Method in honor of its founder.

……

After making sure that the course was correct, the crew finally felt more at ease, although the battleship was a little crowded and the supplies were not sufficient, but everyone had some smiles on their faces, at least they didn't have to worry about not being able to go home.

The Reaper fleet sailed for more than a month, and the dreadnought's medium-range signal transmitter finally received the signal from the Earth Federation, and reported back the problems and difficulties faced by the Reaper fleet, requesting the Earth Federation to send supply ships to transport the energy and supplies that the Reaper fleet urgently needed.

Upon receiving the request, the Earth Federation immediately took action and asked the space fleet closest to the Reaper fleet to send them supplies.

In this way, the two biggest problems facing the Reaper fleet are solved, and it is only a matter of time before they return to the home planet.

But no one expected that the return of the Reaper fleet would be much faster than planned.

Proxima Centauri also received a distress signal from the Reaper Fleet, and directly used space jump technology to drive their super battleship over, generously providing all the supplies needed by the Reaper Fleet, or providing free help.

Proxima Centauri's attitude is not good, they are completely like licking dogs, and they are even willing to help the Reaper fleet open the jump passage and help them return to Earth in the fastest time.

Why not take advantage of the cheapness? Mu Chen has long wanted to experience this black technology of Proxima Centauri.

The jump technology does not allow the warship to fly faster than the speed of light, but uses the special energy field of the jump engine to create a passage that can connect two designated spaces, and the battleship that enters this jump channel can teleport to another place in a very short time, and if the energy is sufficient, it can even move across the stars.

The jump channel is composed of a special energy, after entering, you will feel a fierce strong light, you can't see anything at all, Mu Chen feels as if it is just a blink of an eye, the Grim Reaper has completed the jump, and when he regains his sight again, it is the familiar blue planet in front of him.

"Grandma's, this jump technique is too easy to use, the Reaper will need to sail for a year to complete the return, these Proxima Centauri only need a moment's second, no matter what, they have to find a way to learn this technique!" Mu Chen immediately remembered this technique......
